Chapter 2556: Farewell
The morning sea was calm, with gentle waves rippling and shimmering under the sunlight.
"Father, I must leave now. Take care of yourself. Auntie Xiao Qi, I leave everything to you."
Spirit Butterfly Fairy Si Hong gazed at her father who was seeing her off on the solitary bridge, tears in her eyes. From childhood to adulthood, she had never been apart from her father, but now she was leaving with Lin Feng, naturally worried about everything concerning her father.
Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable affectionately touched his daughter’s head and said to her, "Hong’er, from now on you’ll follow Lin Feng, and you cannot be capricious like before. Lin Feng will replace me in your journey through life; you must treat him well and get along harmoniously with Tao Tao and Lingling, understand?"
Hearing her father’s words, Si Hong’s eyes were misty, but she held back and nodded. She knew what her father meant—she would follow Lin Feng in the future and would not be able to take care of her father, yet her father showed such concern for her, which made leaving him even harder.
Lin Feng watched from the side, understanding that Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable was also speaking to him. At this moment, he stood beside Si Hong, gently placing his hand on her shoulder, and said to the Divine Venerable, "Divine Venerable, rest assured, I will make her happy, and every once in a while, I will bring her back to see you."
"Still calling me Divine Venerable at this moment?" Upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, the Divine Venerable laughed instantly and asked Lin Feng, looking very cheerful.
"Well..." Lin Feng was instantly embarrassed upon hearing this. It wasn’t really his fault; the title ’Divine Venerable’ came naturally to his lips, especially when someone had entrusted him with their daughter. Realizing this, he quickly corrected himself: "Father-in-law, I will surely take good care of my wife!"
These words triggered laughter among everyone present. Lin Feng’s formal speech undoubtedly added a light-hearted atmosphere, diluting the sadness and bringing a faint joy to the scene.
At that moment, to everyone’s surprise, Si Hong suddenly walked to Auntie Xiao Qi, bowed, and said, "Auntie Xiao Qi, my father now relies on your care."
Xiao Qi was taken aback, unable to comprehend the situation, but as she stood in surprise, Si Hong’s voice resonated in her mind.
"Actually, I’ve known about you and my father for quite some time, and I’ve never blamed you. Plus, regarding my sister’s matter, I will find a solution with Lin Feng. If possible, I do not oppose you being with my father."
This statement instantly broke Xiao Qi; she hadn’t expected Si Hong to be so aware of everything, nor had she anticipated Si Hong knowing about Cai’er. However, this revelation helped her understand Si Hong’s heart, and tears began rolling down Xiao Qi’s eyes.
Quickly, she stepped forward, raised Si Hong, and embraced her, whispering softly so no one else could hear, "Thank you."
Two simple words encompassed so much, and at that moment, the misunderstanding between the two women vanished, bringing a heartfelt smile to the face of Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable—a sight he was longing to see.
"Lin Feng, you should go now; if you don’t, it might be difficult to leave later."
Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable smiled at Lin Feng as he said this. Although he felt reluctant, he understood this was inevitable. A daughter must eventually marry, cannot remain by his side forever, and he genuinely believed Lin Feng would achieve great things, that following Lin Feng was the best path for his daughter.
Lin Feng nodded upon hearing this, knowing they indeed needed to leave. He immediately summoned Aurora and arranged for everyone to board the ship. Initially, Aurora’s secrets were not to be revealed to outsiders, but now Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable was no longer an outsider, so Lin Feng no longer concealed this from him.
"You’ve managed to acquire such a fine thing; I was considering giving you a flying Dharma Treasure, but no need anymore!" The Divine Venerable exclaimed speechlessly upon seeing Aurora. He truly hadn’t expected Lin Feng to obtain such a level of flying Dharma Treasure, far surpassing his own, yet he felt relieved, patting Lin Feng’s shoulder and smiling, understanding that the stronger Lin Feng was, the happier he felt.
"If there’s a chance, I will get a Dharma Treasure for Father-in-law as well." Lin Feng said with a smile and then boarded Aurora.
Golden light burst forth; Aurora accelerated swiftly, transforming into a ray of golden light, shooting into the distance, disappearing in the blink of an eye, leaving only Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable and Xiao Qi behind.
"Let’s head back."
Xiao Qi watched as the Divine Venerable kept looking in the direction where Aurora disappeared, leaned on his shoulder, and spoke gently.
At this moment, tears finally fell from the Divine Venerable’s eyes, but he said nothing. He turned and followed Xiao Qi away from the scene...
On Aurora.
Not long after taking off, Lin Feng began studying the map. He suddenly realized something: from their current location, they could cross the sea to quickly reach the Southern Region, prompting him to adjust the course and have Aurora cross the ocean.
But Lin Feng didn’t anticipate that as soon as Aurora changed course towards the sea, Si Hong would immediately tense up.
"Feng, you cannot fly over the sea!"
Si Hong suddenly rushed to Lin Feng’s side, preventing such an adventurous action, her face turning pale. While others might not know about the sea, she was well aware of the ocean’s dangers.
"What’s the matter?"
"Why can’t we fly over the sea?"
...
Tao Tao and the others looked at Si Hong, curiously asking, not understanding why she stopped them.
"Is there danger?" Lin Feng looked at Si Hong but knew she must have a reason.
"Yes, it is not only dangerous but extremely dangerous!"
Si Hong explained to Lin Feng and the others, "The situation in the sea is far beyond their imagination. My father told me before that the sea is a forbidden area for humans because once flying over the sea, the powerful Demon Beasts in the ocean will not ignore it. Not only Divine Venerable but even Divine Emperor wouldn’t dare!"
"Divine Emperor?"
Lin Feng furrowed his brows upon hearing this, surprised at the sea’s complexities, even Divine Emperor wouldn’t dare—a puzzling situation.
"Yes, even Divine Emperor wouldn’t dare!" Si Hong continued to explain, seeing Lin Feng’s doubt, "My father once obtained an old record detailing these matters. Years ago, a Divine Emperor attempted to explore the sea, but never returned, and even his Lifebound Essence Jade shattered. Later, my father, not believing entirely, explored less than ten thousand miles and was gravely injured, barely escaping alive..."
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng and others gasped. The Divine Venerable was a formidable figure even among Divine Venerables, yet he encountered danger after exploring less than ten thousand miles, attesting to the extraordinary situation in the sea! Especially Tao Tao, Lingling, Ma Biaohu, and Tangyuan, silently grateful that they had been lucky not encountering powerful sea Demon Beasts, otherwise they might have perished there.
"Boss, I think I should mention something." Tangyuan floated mid-air, looking at Lin Feng, saying, "Over the past months, Tao Tao and the other three explored a part of the seabed, encountering some Demon Beasts but not very strong ones. Yet, in one cave, we found an unusual place, there was an extremely worn Teleportation Formation, should we go see it?"
Initially, Tangyuan wasn’t planning to mention this, hoping Lin Feng would head straight to the Southern Region. But given the mention of powerful sea Demon Beasts, Tangyuan felt the Teleportation Formation might not be simple, so reminded Lin Feng, thinking exploration could yield benefits.
"A Teleportation Formation?" Lin Feng hadn’t expected Tangyuan to discover this, but understanding Tangyuan’s implication, avoiding chance encounters isn’t his style.
"Brother Lin, there is indeed a Teleportation Formation, but it’s very worn, and seems very ancient." Tao Tao finally recalled the Teleportation Formation matter, pondering seriously, expressing she hadn’t considered it noteworthy initially.
"In that case, let’s go check it out." Now confirming the Teleportation Formation’s existence, Lin Feng pondered for a moment and arranged the subsequent plan.
With Tangyuan leading, they naturally wouldn’t lose their way. Soon they arrived at a coastal point, following Tangyuan underwater. At their level, breathing underwater no longer posed an issue, rendering the seabed merely a different terrain, not affecting them significantly.
Along the way, they encountered many beautiful fish, vibrant and aesthetically pleasing, delighting the three women along who even played with them.
Seeing this, Lin Feng didn’t interfere, smiling gently, giving a reminder before continuing leading everyone underwater. Occasionally, encountering some ill-fated sea Demon Beasts, dealt with by Ma Biaohu.
The deeper they swam, the dimmer the light became, though it hardly affected them, as all could use Divine Sense to probe their surroundings, until encountering a place on the seafloor emitting a faint blue glow...
